The agreement establishing the National Western Center Authority (NWCA) requires establishment of a community investment fund to support projects and programs benefitting Globeville, Elyria and Swansea. The NWCA has recommended that a new organization be formed to receive and spend the funds called for in the agreement and, potentially, monies from other sources. I want your thoughts on this proposal and ideas on the best way to move forward.
